Comic Con Adventures Part 1

I’m a very lucky girl and had such an amazing time at Comic Con this year. I always love going to San Diego and this event in particular is one of the highlights of the year. I get to visit with friends I haven’t seen all year and enjoy geeking out over all the cool panels and sights of the convention. There are so many amazing memories, but I’m gonna only torture you with a few today:

In no particular order because everything I did and experienced has such amazingness attached that they were all special to me.

Meeting Simon Pegg was A-MAZ-ING! I’ll admit, when I heard he was having a panel for The World’s End, I knew I’d be lining up in the wee hours to make sure I got into that panel. I was super excited and have crazy excited eyes in the pic, but I’ll take it. lol

 

Any and Every Time I get to spend with Daisy Prescott:

 

 

She just makes everything more fun… even when you’ve only had 15 minutes sleep on a cold sidewalk outside a convention center.

This was the most fun year yet, my third Con, and I can’t wait for Comic Con 2014.

CC Post 2 will include some of yours and mine fave authors as well as George R R Martin. Stay tuned…

Until then, XO,

S.

Good Intentions Cover and Title Reveal

Good Intentions is book 2 in the Welcome to Paradise series and follows the journey we began with Mallory and Evan in Good Vibrations.

The cover is here and I LOVE IT! I’ve been so excited to share this with you for a while. The talented Sarah Hansen of Okay Creations designed it and it just feels perfect for this book.

The image chosen for the cover was the first image I ever found for the series. It was love at first site and I knew I had to use it. It seemed to fit book 2 in my mind best, so here we are.

The title came about during writing. It seemed to jump off the page to me. After all our dynamic duo – Evan and Mallory – have been through Good Intentions just worked well for this second installment in the series.

So here we are with a cover and title reveal. Good Intentions will be released on September 9th, 2013.

Two words sum up my summer in paradise: Evan Ashford.

I have a life back home I must return to, though my heart battles this reality. What started as a carefree summer fling has become so much more. Evan has become so much more. He’s become everything. Cupping his face, I stare into his deep blue eyes, wanting to lose myself once more… needing to know he feels this too.

Although our connection won’t stop the summer’s end from rushing toward us or silence the demons Evan battles, I have faith our love can overcome the obstacles that will undoubtedly arise from us choosing to be together. I still worry… Will our good intentions be good enough? But I’m all in, willing to take the risk, knowing he can destroy my heart if I’m wrong.

Like a riptide, I was forever changed by one woman: Mallory Wray.

Our eyes meet and we spend a moment looking into the others’, reading the fear and the love that mingles within. I move slowly down and kiss her forehead, her nose, her eyelids, her cheeks, and her chin before I kiss her lips again—soft and gentle, not rushed, but sensual. She smiles and I die inside knowing that I won’t get to see her face every day. I’ve been spoiled by this sweet angel giving me all her days and nights. I possessively take hold of her wrists and like so many times before, the air stills as our connection intensifies. I can’t help myself when it comes to her.

I kiss her.

Rain pours down harder and I wrap my arms around her, engulfing her body, her love, her soul.

Naturally, Charlie

I have such exciting news about Naturally, Charlie, well, thrilling for me. lol On June 25th, Naturally, Charlie will be released by me with a fantastic new price and a great new cover.

It’s been such a fun and fantastic journey with my debut book and it will always hold a sweet spot in my heart. I loved spending time with the two Charlies when writing and after the book was published and have missed them. They are a part of me. So to have this new opportunity to self-publish the book at a great price point and with this fun new cover means the world to me.

I hope you’ll consider reading the book if you haven’t. If you purchased the book prior to it disappearing from online book sites, thank you for being on this publishing journey with me. Your support has meant the world to me.

XO,

S.

It’s A – LIVE!

Good Vibrations is finally here. It’s live on Amazon and Barnes & Noble in ebook and paperback (waiting for the paperback to go live on B & N still). I’m working on iTunes, Kobo, and Sony to add even more options to buy the ebook. The whole process of publishing is exciting and sometimes frustrating when things don’t go as planned. So it took a few extra days to be available on Amazon and now I’ve been battling a price change since launch. I’m happy to say it was finally changed this morning.

Grab your Kindle copy at .99 for a short time. Originally this sale was to end on Wednesday, but since it just started, I’m going to stick to the original plan and honor it for a few days.

Good Vibrations on Amazon

So snag a copy today and enjoy escaping to the islands.

“It’s Such a Sweet Sensation”

“Come on, come on. Feel it, feel it. Feel the vibration” ~ Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch..dbr5{position:absolute;clip:rect(461px,auto,auto,489px);}SAME DAY cash advance

Yep, this song has been stuck in my head all day long. This is odd for several reasons. First, I’m a Beach Boys lover, so if any Good Vibrations song is gonna be stuck in my head, it should be their version. But that Marky Mark song is so damn catchy.

It’s also odd because my book has nothing to do with Marky Mark, The Funky Bunch, or The Beach Boys. But the paperback did come out today on Amazon. WOOT!

Well, giving credit where credit is due. My book does have a beach in it, so I have that in common with The Boys… kind of.

“Yeah, can you feel it, baby? I can too.” Oops, still singing. C’mon, join in. You know you want to.

Good Vibrations, the ebook, is released June 10th on both Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

For the paperback, just click the link on the right side of the blog and it will take you directly to Amazon.

XO,

S.

P.S. – For those unfamiliar with the songs mentioned, here are the links so you can get the songs stuck in your head too.
